Collaborate with fellow young people and community residents to make history come alive at the Preserve Pittsburgh Summit. The Young Preservationists Association seeks innovative ideas from young people to create a better future for these important but endangered historic sites.
Facilitators will guide discussion groups and on-site tours to develop recommendations for these four historic sites: August Wilson House; New Granada Theatre; Garden Theater; and the National Negro Opera Company house.

The Preserve Pittsburgh Summit also features networking opportunities, information on careers in preservation, and a post-conference reception that will show the best YouTubeTM videos on historic preservation.

YPA will also unveil the winners of the Preservation Video Contest and present our annual Promise Award. Reception to follow (ticketed event).
The Preserve Pittsburgh Summit will be held at the Frick Fine Arts Building in Oakland, on Pitt's Campus, on Saturday, March 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
